iPad Project
All Junior Cycle Students use their own iPad as a learning tool in the classroom. The iPads provide the students with a way of learning that is very compatible with the new Junior Cycle Framework.
They allow students to do their own research in various subjects and current issues which develops their ‘Key Skills’ in teamwork, creativity and good communications as well as being able to manage their own information and thinking.
The many apps give students a chance to learn in a very innovative and interesting way while developing their technological skills. The project has been very positive for students increasing their engagement with the curriculum and therefore improving their educational achievement, along with promoting their self confidence and independent learning.
